The film is dedicated to the artistic journey of director Alexei Uchitel, who began as a documentary filmmaker (“Rock”, “Obvodny Canal”), made a name with his debut feature films “Giselle’s Mania”, “His Wife’s Diary”, distinguished himself with experimental films “The Stroll”, “Dreaming of Space”, “Tsoi” and multi-budget “The Edge” and “Mathilde”. In the film dedicated to his 70th anniversary, when it is already possible to formulate some results, his favorite artists will help to reveal the endless variety of his creative palette: Yu. Shevchuk, O. Budina, E. Tsyganov, G. Tyunina, E. Mironov, V Mashkov, Y. Peresild, D. Kozlovsky, I. Vernik, S. Garmash. The film uses archival materials of the author, who visited (with a camera) almost all the film sets of his protagonist, whose comments on his new projects will speckle the whole film.
